What Happens When Snowy Owls Are Faced With Heat? Article by L

Snowy Owls are one of the most graceful owls on planet Earth. They have a thick white coat and dark, black spots. Their white coat of feathers lets them blend into there snowy habitat in the tundra. The snowy owl's black spots help absorb sunlight. But, what happens when they are exposed to a warmer climate? While many people don't believe this, snowy owls almost completely change when they are moved to a warmer habitat. They lose their beautiful white and black feathers and grow brownish-grey ones. They no longer are majestic and graceful, but shaggy and clumsy. There have been many hypotheses about why this is, but the most convincing was by Frank Galesburg.

"While Snowy Owls seem perfect to the naked eye, they are far from it. Underneath all there fancy feathers are the grey and brown ones we see when it is exposed to a warm climate. When moved somewhere warmer, they no longer need the fluffy outer layer and shed it."

What Frank Galesburg said has been tested and proven. So, next time you see a snowy owl, do not be fooled. Because the truth is always hidden deep.
